Iwasdoingallright ear trainer7/26/2023 My process for transcribing is mostly based on listening and visualization. But typically, if it feels impossible, it’s probably not correct. I know there are some that go out of their way to challenge themselves. I have to constantly remind myself that for the most part, the greats play things that feel ‘natural’ to them. You could have the pitches all correct, but if you don’t have the notes in the proper fret location you could very well be wasting your time trying to play something that’s nearly unplayable. If you consider the groundbreaking discoveries of CtC, where notes are fretted are critical because it jives with the picking escape plan the guitarist is using. Regarding doing it without a guitar, I’d say it depends on your goal. I’m sure there are way better tools now, but something like that will help in identifying pitches. It also had a crappy eq feature that would roll off the bass, which helped when transcribing solos. This was great for figuring rhythm guitars as they are typically panned hard right and left. I had a rather crude setup, but I did have a unit that allowed removing of the center channel. Doing things a lot tends to make people good at it, so I think I was at least “proficient” by the end of it. The method I used was having people bring in anything they liked and I’d show them how to play it. I’m not at the level of any of those 3 but I’ve done tons of transcribing as I used to be a guitar teacher full time for a little over 10 years. Don’t forget about he’s done some amazing work too. I know and the mighty are members here.Īwesome transcribers.
